I'm so sorry you have that to worry about! I have a friend in the same boat who will have to worry about that when she's pregnant, too. I know there are women out there who had no idea they had a bicornate uterus until they gave birth so I know that delivering a full-term baby with that condition is possible! Hang in there!

I have a unicornate uterus, which is different, but it also puts me at risk at risk for preterm labor.I basically have half an uterus. I was scared to death reading the Internet about my anomaly and was convinced I would be on bedrest by now (28 wkd), but I have had a normal pregnancy so far. I figure If octomom could carry 8, my half pint can carry one! I don't know what the funnelling means though. Did your doctor put you on bed rest? What did he/she say? I guess am just advicing not to panic too much unless your doctor is panicked.

I've been going ever 2 weeks since 20 weeks for an ultrasound to check cervix length. My first pregnancy was scary because I worried so much about the what if's but I think that's normal no matter what shape your uterus is. Are you on bed rest because your dilating?

well im not dialating...yet... but its opening up internally... Â almost just as scary because the process is beginning right?... Â so yup, thats why im on bed rest... not b/c of my uterus.

j/w how many months did u hold ur first one in for?? Â did u have any problems due to ur uterus shape, like growth restriction or nething? im sooo nervous that she will get stuck and stop growing/then stop breathing because of the lmited shape w/ a bicornuate uterus.

I have what they believe to be a septate uterus, slightly heart shaped at the top, a double cervix and a vaginal septum. They are not really sure the extent of the septum in my uterus because it has been too difficult to see in the ultrasounds (they didn't find all this until I was 12 weeks along) and they are still trying to figure out what is going on with my cervices. I have been going every two weeks to be checked since 12 weeks and thankfully so far so good. I was terrified of having a miscarriage in the beginning and now that I am 25 weeks I am so scared of pre-term labor. So I can relate to some extent. Let me know if you need to talk and take care. I hope everything works out OK.

I'm sorry Jasmine, that is very scary.

Hey... thx for your input - you have definately helped me gain some hope and more faith =) Â Are you seeing a high risk specialist as well? Â What have they told you about your uterus and also, do you get your cervix measured frequently as well?? Â Glad everything is going good so far for u! ;) Â and ya, I am also terrified of pre term labor ...at the beginning I was terrified of a miscarriage too, but now I'm EXTRA terrified of pre term labor....it's hard... b/c you think... why can't we just have normal pregnancies like most ppl? Â

well, I have a Septate Uterus and it carries many of the same risks as a Bicornuate Uterus. However, I am now 29 weeks today and so far have had no problems and my little man is growing just fine. I also have a 12 year old son who went to full term with no problems. I will say that for 12 years between my oldest son and the one I'm pregnant with now I NEVER used and Birth Control and never could get pregnant. I just thought I couldn't get pregnant anymore then in May of this year my little miracle happend. I am so excited to have the experience of being pregnant again. I never found out I have a Septate Uterus untill this pregnancy!! I am high risk as well and I am monitered very close but all is good so far. I work a full time job about 55 hours a week as a General Manager of a Hotel, I cook, clean, and continue on as normal. I would just like to wish you the Best of luck and stay healthy!!

That's great news how wonderful that you were able to fall pregnant again and that so far everythings going so well for you, despite having a septate uterus! Â Do you also get regular cervix measurements done?Â Â For me, I don't think it's really my uterus thats the problem its the fact that my cervix is so short and I have a feeling the septum from the b/u is putting extra pressure on it which isn't helping one bit =(

Yes I do get regular cervix measurements done and so far everything has been normal :) I actually have a Dr. Appt today and they are doing a ultrasound because I am measuring 4 weeks ahead. They will give me a estimated weight of Baby Kenyatta today. I'm so excited to see him again before the big day rolls around. I will keep you informed on how everything is going. I'm also going to add you so that we can keep in touch :)TTYL

Oh wow, thx for the support - I really am not alone! Â J/w - How was your cervix measuring w/ your first 2 pregnancies?? Â Was it beginning to dialate that early on as well? Â Also, how was the experience w/ your son who was born at 31 weeks? Â Sorry for all the questions lol... Â How are you coping w/ hospital bed rest? Â What do you usually do w/ your days?? Â This is day 2 on rest for me, and I'm already kinda bored =(
